Tomato TASTING and CONTESTS:Bring tomato varieties to taste. Two (more in the case of small cherry tomatoes) of each variety is good, one for display, one for tasting, but if you only have one that is fine!! In fact if you just have one tomato variety that is fine. Remember it only take one to win : )

RAFFLE:Besides the tomato contests, we will have raffles for excellent prizes to help with the cost of putting this party together. Prizes included garden, house hold items, and the always coveted homemade canned goods. Please bring a few dollars to buy tickets.

FOOD:Various meats will be provided. Yes, there will be Meat-on-a-Stick! There will be a charcoal grill or two. We ask people to bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to eat, but it is not required. Please let US know what you plan on bringing so other don't bring the same item. It is a cottage, so there is a full kitchen if you need to put something together once you get there.

DRINKS:Bottled water, lemonade, and ice tea, and coffee will be available. Bringing your own beer or wine is fine.

KIDS:If you have kids, and want to bring them, there will definitely be children between the ages of 6 -14 there to play with, and they always seem to make friends fast. There will be assorted toys and there is a swing set. If it is going to be hot out, bring a bathing suit for your kid, we will fill the kiddy pool. If your kid is older, there will be Can Jam for kids and adults. There are also trails in the wood behind the house to explore.
